AIPMT PRELIMS 2006 Chemistry Gibbs Free Energy MCQ Question
Type: MCQ-numerical-Medium-Class 11
The enthalpy and entropy change for the reaction: Br₂(l) + Cl₂(g) → 2BrCl(g) are 30 kJ mol⁻¹ and 105 J K⁻¹ mol⁻¹ respectively. The temperature at which the reaction will be in equilibrium is:
A
285.7 K
B
373 K
C
250 K
D
400 K
Correct Answer
Option A
Detailed Explanation
The equilibrium temperature can be calculated using the Gibbs free energy equation ΔG = ΔH - TΔS. Setting ΔG to zero for equilibrium, T = ΔH/ΔS = 30000 J / 105 J K⁻¹ = 285.7 K.
